For Claude of Saint-Martin, "the number 21 is the number of destruction or rather of universal termination, because, as 2 is separated from 1, it is necessary that it has a means of to unite there if it wants it. This number shows at the same time the command of the production of things and their end, as well in the spiritual one as in the corporal one."

Message behind the number #21 that bring all of us together?

by Beste - 2/17/15 6:37 PM

What I believe is everything happens for a reason. It's been a long time that I've been noticing #21 in my life. Even when I send a mail or a message time shows 21 on very crucial events of my life. For example last morning I woke up for pray/salat without an alarm and as soon as I woke up ı looked at the time and there it's the #21.
Everyone has similar stories and what's unique is the #21. Now just think for a while... This number also make us curious and so we search the meaning behind it and we meet in here. I'm writing you from Turkey. From different parts of the world we all together are searching for the meaning of it? Is this number 21 a spiritual message? Throuhout the day God give all of us some messages to guide us, to protect us. God wants us to remember His power and He give us security and peace by His angels.

Collect the variables of that belonging time when you notice the number 21. This number cant have a general meaning but a meaning that you have to find from your own life's... more...

by orlando johnson69 - 8/21/12 12:15 AM

I was born june 21, and i feel like it has a deeper meaning to me that i can't explain. No matter where i am, everytime i look a my watch or some random clock, it always falls on 21. Meaning it could be 12:21, 9:21 etc. And i might mention, i was born 3:21 am on June 21. I feel a religious calling on my life, and no matter how many times i ignore it. It keeps coming back, what do i suppose to be doing with my life. HELP!

Im born on 12/21/85

by Crystal - 5/19/10 10:27 AM

For the past couple months everytime I look at the clock its 12:21, recently its always something 21 ( 3:21 , 4:21, ect) and its more than just on the clock. Im also born on 12/21/85, I started dating the man who I have two children with on 6/21/02. My son was born on 04/09 4+9=13 and my daughter on 03/05 3+5= 8, their bdays combined 8+13=21. The more and more I think about it the number 21 is everwhere around me. I was born at 9:07pm in military time 21:07, its starting to creep me out, what do I make of this???

RE: Im born on 12/21/85

>>21 has an aliquot sum of 11 though it is the second composite number found in the 11-aliquot tree with the abundant square prime 18 being the first such member. Twenty-one is the first number to be the aliquot sum of three numbers 18, 51, 91. (Wikipedia) 21 and 11 are somehow related :)

I had a dream soooo similar, I was in my hometown and water start rushing into the store fronts until they filled up the stores, then like these black oil demon beings were delivering thru the water and whispering quite creepily and took every one in the room except me. Then all the water disappeared. When I walked out all the buildings were gone so I started walking and lil by lil id see someone who would come along. We came to a house way down the road and we went in, they were all raving and getting messed up, I tarted to tell them what was happening but they didn't care. So I go back outside to leave and down the valley there's a hill on fire for miles and a bunch of ambulance stretchers everywhere I ran into my gma holding my daughter lifeless and I gave her mouth to mouth and she started breathing and my gma disappeared. I ha this dream in 2010 and my gma passed away in 2012 and I now live in her home with my daughter! Well either way long story short ;) my birthday is 12/21/87 and I have vivid visions forever, always see 1221/I've always believed I was a special kinda gal...

interesting vs down right stupid

by driven nutty - 8/26/12 6:26 AM

the above i found a good read, but all these comment are nothing more than a nut job think list. yes is you mess with number dates and everything else you can make 21, or 24, or 23, or 22. if you really wanna find a number it is easy. For example, the meaning of life is 42 and a human as 42 chromazones, in 21 pairs. tell me what dose that mean. in the end nothing. look for 22 you can say a new born has 350 bones after growing to a adult has 206. 350 - 206 = 44.
44 is twice 22. see easy. 23? 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year. 12 + 7 + 4 = guess what 23!!! you can agrue 21 by saying 12 devide 4 = 3, 3 time 7 = 21. see and you can find many other meaningless things with number, just play 24's with friends and see.

What you say may be true but when you are not looking for the number and the number keeps showing up, that is where the difference is. We are not looking for the number the number just appears constantly. This number started showing in my life when I was a tean and since then is always with me.

by Gillie - 6/28/14 10:10 PM

I'm 28 and have been seeing the number 21 since I was 18..your post makes sence..I'm deeply into God and notice a lot of synchronicity in my life..i have also heard seeing numbers are angels meant to guide you. I hope this is all for God and Jesus Christ. I have seen synchronicity with this number relating to Jesus and the apostles..often times I will see the number 21 with 33 which is when Christ died so to say we are soldiers for God would totally make sence.
